Instrument Cluster Making a Whining Sound.

Thanks guys for all the help. Things are working better. I have another question about my 82' GS1100E. Has anyone ever put too much oil in, and if so what are the consequences? May sound like a dumb question, maybe it is, but I think I did it. I measured the oil and added the amount listed on the engine, but after I started it, and let it run for a few minutes, I shut it off and checked the window about 30 minutes later. The oil was barely even visible. I then added about 200 mL and drove the bike. Oil started coming out of the left side down by my foot. It seemed like a lot. Again I sat on the side of the rode for about 30 minutes until oil arrived via my wife. Got home cleaned up the bike. parked it. No oil leak. Any thoughts on this one?

I don't know much about ml's & liters, I'm more familiar with qt. & oz. The Gs1100 takes appx. 4 qt. of oil at oil change. When oil is at L (low) mark, it will need appx. 1 qt. to get it up to the F (full) mark on window. Just to be sure, never check oil while bike is on the side stand, will show way low. Never had a GS over full. I did have a 2005 Suzuki Bandit 1200 over full, pet cock leaked & almost filled crankcase. At idle all was fine, started down the rd. engine sputtered to a stop & oil was gushing out of the vent tube under the bike.

Oil was checked at all times on the center stand, but I will look underneath again for a vent tube. I did not see one yesterday, but will look again. It had to be coming from somewhere only while running, and I thought there had to be an overflow tube somewhere. Thanks!

There are seals at gearshift and drive-chain sprocket too....
